INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your primary heating
system. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may
run system's circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the
event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.
CAUTION: If you install the heater in a home garage:
• Heater pilot and burner must be at least 18 inches above the floor.
• Place heater where moving vehicle will not hit it.
WARNING: A qualified service person must install heater. Follow all local codes.

• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 36 inches from the front, top, or
sides of the heater

CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to heater.
Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater where impurities (such as tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may cause walls to discolor.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, pages 8 through 10
